FEMUR.
Of the femora not one shows itself sufficiently intact to permit an exact measurement. Only the width and thickness can be determined, these confirming the narrow-footed peculiarity of the Anau horse.
TIBIA.
Of the tibia, on the contrary, we have a perfect specimen, which permits of very exact measurement. This, too, shows that we have to do with a narrow-footed horse. The indices of width are :
Anau horse 25.8
Small Schlossberg horse 24.7
La Tène horse 22.7
Equus hemionus 28.0
Diluvial horse of Siberia 30.0
Equus przewalskii 33.o
